[horde] Issue with ActiveSync after update of Date module

[Andreas Mauser]

Hi,

I was not updating Horde6 for a while and hit a challenge with an older ActiveSync version. I worked out something with my digital assistant that make H6..
.. upgrade successfulle
.. with latest ActiveSync version
.. with working ActiveSync

Maybe it does help some of you.

if [ ! -f "composer.json" ]; then
    echo "[FEHLER] Bitte führe dieses Skript direkt im Horde-Hauptordner aus!"
    exit 1
fi

echo "--- COMPOSER-JSON PATCHEN (ActiveSync fixieren) ---"
# Hebelt die alten PHP-Restriktionen in der composer.json aus

# Zwingt die composer.json auf die moderne 3er-Alpha/Beta Schiene von ActiveSync
sed -i 's|"horde/activesync": "[^"]*"|"horde/activesync": "^3.0 at alpha"|g' composer.json
echo "[OK] composer.json für PHP 8.2 und ActiveSync ^3.0 modifiziert."
